GCSE MARKING SCHEME

DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY SUMMER 2015

© WJEC CBAC Ltd.

INTRODUCTION The marking schemes which follow were those used by WJEC for the 2015 examination in GCSE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY. They were finalised after detailed discussion at examiners' conferences by all the examiners involved in the assessment. The conferences were held shortly after the papers were taken so that reference could be made to the full range of candidates' responses, with photocopied scripts forming the basis of discussion. The aim of the conferences was to ensure that the marking schemes were interpreted and applied in the same way by all examiners. It is hoped that this information will be of assistance to centres but it is recognised at the same time that, without the benefit of participation in the examiners' conferences, teachers may have different views on certain matters of detail or interpretation. WJEC regrets that it cannot enter into any discussion or correspondence about these marking schemes.

Jamie Oliver

Believes good food can be produced in a short period of time – 30 minute meals book is an example of this.

Believes good food can be produced at home.

Not always a strong believer in measuring all ingredients accurately –often just a splosh.

To be successful you need to be organised and willing to use shortcuts sometimes if cooking in a short period of time.

Encourages the putting together of home cooked meals using simple techniques rather than 'chefy'.

Strong advocate for cooking meals from scratch and using local organic produce.

Uses fresh ingredients grown in his garden and encourages others to grow their own to use in recipes.

Believes cooking yourself will nourish yourself and your family.

Not always a ‘traditionalist’ more of a throw it all in person.

Presentation – rustic, can sometimes be quite messy/home style( kids/families).

Can be quite precise/neat if producing foods to restaurant standards.

Delia Smith

Very traditionalist/ home style skills and recipes.

Follows recipes accurately and is well prepared for the making of them.

Likes ingredients to be weighed out accurately and will measure even smallest ingredients.

Very methodical –recipes are easy to follow as are her TV shows.

Teaches basic skills for people who cannot cook as well as skills for those wanting to expand/improve

Style old fashioned –recipe influences can date back to research in British Museum.

Style can be to teach people how to be frugal/ to cater for occasions- Christmas, summer or cook for a single person (one is fun).

Will use shortcuts when making dishes as her how to cheat at cooking programs reveals.

Methods used can be very simple and basic – how to boil an egg.

Presentation – neat, not fussy, can be quite basic but attractive, often uses home style presentation.

They are a form of quality control

If they are not used, images will end up blurred or may resemble a 3D image

*Candidates may mention the four colours cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black)

Appropriate answer with appropriate detail, e.g. registration marks are used when printing a document to ensure that the four different coloured screens are aligned properly / this enables an image to be printed correctly. / If they are not used, images will end up blurred or unclear. Appropriate statement but with little detail, e.g. to make sure the four colours are printed in the right place. Colour Bars Good answers could include reference to:

That these are a form of quality control

They are used to check that the colour density is consistent and that the correct amount of colour is being printed

The most sophisticated printers use them like a bar code. Printing machines contain a scanner that scans the colour bars whilst printing is in operation to ensure the quality is maintained

They are printed outside the print area and cut off after printing is complete

*Candidates may mention the four colours cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black)

Appropriate answer with appropriate detail, e.g. colour bars are printed outside the print area and are used for quality control purposes. / printers use the squares of colour to check the right level of colour or density of colour is being printed. / this can be done manually, or on some more modern printers, this can be automated.

(b) Candidates would need to include references to the following in their answers.

Phillip Starck - style of work:

There are few areas of design he hasn't explored: from furniture to mail-order homes, motorbikes to mega-yachts, and even artistic direction for space-travel projects, to name but a few.

responsible for the creation of a wide variety of objects in the O.W.O. Series, noodles for Panzani, boats for Beneteau, mineral-water bottles for Glacier, kitchen appliances for Alessi, toothbrushes for Fluocaril, luggage for Vuitton, "Urban Fittings" for Decaux, office furniture for Vitra, as well as vehicles, computers, doorknobs, spectacle frames, etc.

Phillip Starck - ideas:

Much of his work produced in the 1980's and 1990's was influenced by fashion and novelty. It has even been referred to by some as being 'overdesigned'.

Philippe Starck believed in the green long before ecology became fashionable, out of respect for the planet's future.

Concept of "democratic design" – increase the quality of objects at lower prices so that more people can enjoy the best – he was a lone voice at a time when design was turned exclusively towards an elite.

Ross Lovegrove - style of work:

Worked for Frog Design a company in West Germany; on products like Walkman’s and Apple Computers.

Designs a range of product from chairs to domestic sinks.

Worked with well known designers Stark, Nouvel, Dupont, etc.

Works as a freelance designer for companies such as Peugeot, Olympus major corporate companies.

Ross Lovegrove - ideas;

Objects have clean lines with interesting forms and shapes.

Likes to experiment with materials.

Likes to use the shape and forms in nature as inspiration.

Advocate of sustainable design, e.g. Renault Twin’Z electric concept car/solar tree.

Content

1 (a) (i) Full answer should demonstrate understanding of how the specification point is met, e.g. Any waste plastic items like cash cards or carton lids can be reused to make plectrums instead of being thrown away. Product is robust and durable therefore having a long life expectancy reducing waste / replacing.

2 2 Product Analysis

Limited answer e.g. uses plastic that would be thrown away, or lasts a long time. 1 Weak or short responses like reuse waste. 0

(ii) Full answer should demonstrate understanding of how the specification point is met e.g. The punch is made from stainless steel which is durable and the sizes allow the product to be easily carried by hand, in a pocket, or guitar case.

2 2 Dev, Plan, Com (b)

One part correct e.g. Small in size / hand held. Or steel is a strong material. 1 One word answers like small or strong. 0

(iii) Full answer should demonstrate understanding of how the specification point is met e.g. The £8.50 is relatively cheap one –off initial cost considering this product can make 1000s of identical plectrums.


Once £8.50 is paid, the user will no longer need to buy plectrums. 1 One word responses like repeatability. 0

(b) Full answer should demonstrate understanding e.g. The size of the slot that the plastic fits into must be too small for a finger to fit. Or The sharp edge that cuts the plectrum shape faces inwards and the user cannot get cut or hurt.

Incorrect or blank.

0

(b) (i) Batteries are identified with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol, meaning they should not be disposed of in normal household waste.

1 1 Overarching principles

Incorrect or inappropriate answer 0

(ii) According to the European commission, mercury, lead and cadmium are the most problematic substances in the battery waste stream and batteries made with these metals are classified as hazardous waste. When these waste batteries are burned, they contribute to air pollution and, when they end up in landfill, the metals leach into the surrounding land. In addition, thousands of tonnes of valuable metals, such as nickel, cobalt and silver, could be recovered if batteries did not go to landfills or incinerators

A fully detailed response e.g. If batteries are placed in landfill, chemicals may leak into natural surroundings polluting them.

Less developed responses e.g. Batteries contain dangerous material, parts could have been recycled.

1

Incorrect or inappropriate answer. 0

(c) (i) Clear and detailed response e.g. Governments began in 2009 to 2012 systematically ending the manufacture of incandescent bulb because they are inefficient (lots of energy lost to heat) Incandescent bulbs also have short lifetimes compared with other types of lighting; around 1000 hours for home light bulbs versus 10,000 hours for compact fluorescents.

2 2 Overarching principles

Less developed / limited responses. E.g. they are bad for the environment or there are better alternatives for the environment.

1

Incorrect or inappropriate answer. 0 (ii) A fully detailed response covering at least 1 winner and 1 loser e.g. The government may

be a winner because LED bulbs would help meet statistical targets, consumers may be a winner because the new bulbs last longer and are cheaper to run. Manufacturers may be winners due to new types of bulbs needed. Losers could be consumers who still have supplies of less efficient bulbs that work but will be pressured into buying new ones. Losers are manufacturers who have to set up new production systems. Manufacturers will also produce less in the long run because the new types last much longer. (Any 1 winner and 1 loser, but not 2 winners/losers).

Filed edges, glass papered and polished. e.g. – Acrylic is measured and marked out using ruler and marker pen. Shape is cut using a bandsaw.

Step 2 – Line bender is turned on and up to heat required. Hold acrylic about heating element, (not too close to cause blistering) rotating to heat evenly. e.g. – Bending lines / markings are heated once strip heater has been switched on and is hot.

Step 3 – Once soft, bend acrylic to desired angle and remove heat to cool acrylic bend at desired position. This is repeated for the second bend. e.g. – Once soft, the acrylic can be bent to the shape required. Heat is removed. This cools and the process is repeated for the second bend.

There may be a variety of methods of marking out, cutting out, finishing / polishing, jigs used once heated etc. These responses will deserve credit.

1 1

No answer or an answer that does not describe the importance of the safety feature – 0 mark.

Up to two marks can be awarded to answers that indicate a clear understanding of the importance of the safety feature based on the non-slip sole preventing an accident.

A one mark answer: the non-slip sole will prevent the wearer from slipping and falling over.

(c) (i) No answer or one that does not address the main function of the slippers - 0 mark.

0

Answers that indicate an understanding of the function of the slippers to keep the wearers feet cosy and warm can be awarded up to two marks based on: the fleece and Sherpa fleece prevent body heat from escaping by trapping warm air in between the fibres; this keeps the wearers feet warm. Knowledge of the materials’ properties is required.

A simple statement that reflects an understanding e.g. it meets the specification point because they are made from cosy and warm materials.

Paper Question


(ii) No answer or one that does not address the affordable price of the slippers – 0 marks.

0

Answers that indicate a very clear understanding of the selling price being easily affordable to the intended target market can be awarded up to 2 marks based on: the target market is young girls up to adults - whilst adults might be able to afford them they are quite expensive for the younger target market for what they are – a fun pair of novelty slippers with limited use; the price of £13.99 is too expensive for a pair of slippers that may not last that long and are not value for money, not easily affordable which would put people off buying them. The specification point would not have been met.

A simple statement with limited elaboration in the answer can be awarded one mark e.g. they are quite expensive for a pair of slippers which might not last very long.

1

A more developed response which is fully explained can be awarded two marks e.g. They are quite expensive for a novelty pair of slippers that might not last a long time and offer poor value for money. Therefore, not easily affordable to the target market meaning the specification point has not been met.

2

4

(d)

No answer or one that does not explain why batch production is the most suitable scale of production – 0 mark.

0

Answers that indicate an understanding of batch production being the most appropriate scale of production should be given credit based on: slippers are mostly sold in the autumn / winter season so very large quantities may not needed; they are offered in a range of colourful and fun patterns which only appeal to a set target market – limited appeal; the slippers are a bit novelty item – a fashion Fad which might sell quickly at first then sales would drop off quickly when the market is saturated. All indicate batch production as most appropriate as only set quantities are needed.

A simple response e.g. they are usually only worn in winter so have limited use.

1

A more developed response with some elaboration e.g. they are a seasonal product (autumn/winter) so there is a limit to the numbers needed as not everyone would buy them/wear them and the target market would only need one pair each.

2

A fully developed response with clear reasoning fully explained e.g. The slippers are a seasonal product with a novelty factor appealing to a set target market; all these factors mean that very large quantities are not needed because fashion trends change quickly, they are limited in the length of time/time of year to use them and the target market would only want one pair each. Limiting the numbers needed.
